Ghee is chemically highly complex in nature. The authentication and characterisation of edible fats and oils by routine chemical methods are highly laborious and time‐consuming. Fourier transform near infrared (FT‐NIR) spectroscopy has emerged as the predominant analytical tool in the study of edible fats/oils. In order to assign absorption bands in the infrared (IR) spectrum, spectra of cow and buffalo ghee samples were acquired in the NIR region (10 000–4000 cm−1). In the FT‐NIR spectrum, a total of nine peaks were obtained for cow and buffalo ghee, with almost equal intensity of absorption. The intensity of absorbance was higher for cow ghee compared to buffalo ghee.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
